Coaching begins with an assessment of your needs and goals and identification of your personal values and principles. Through this process you gain clarity into your intentions and develop a framework through which your work can progress and transpire.
Mindfulness Awareness practices offer both an escape from current realities as well as an objective space in which to explore your current needs, emotions, thoughts, and behavioral patterns. Mindfulness Awareness develops through simple focusing practices that provide both containment for and freedom in the mind.
Dialectical and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (DBT & CBT) provide the tools to identify stressors and respond proactively in the moment, thereby decreasing negative emotional and mental reactions and increasing personal peace, power, freedom of choice, and resilience.
Negative, self-limiting beliefs, often derived as coping mechanisms to manage stress and loss, act as unconscious rules and standards that limit your ability to be spontaneous in the moment and to act with integrity and wisdom. Through focused attention to stressful triggers and your automatic responses, you can begin to change your relationship with your Self and your belief system.
Intimacy is a product of self-awareness combined with compassion, curiosity and love. By developing your interpersonal awareness and practicing effective communication strategies, you will raise the level of your interpersonal experience and develop a healthy and strong interpersonal support system based on mutual respect and honest, open communication.
You can Awaken your Intuition and Self-Actualize through a process of self-discovery. Through the combination of skills development and the practice of mindful self-compassion, you will learn to understand your needs and motivations and become a more proactive participant in determining the actions needed to reach your highest levels of satisfaction and attainment.
